The Spring Return to Learn Plan was presented to the School Committee on February 9th, 2021.
For a copy of the plan click here.
For a copy of the Return to Learn Update presented on February 23rd click here.
Our students in PreK, kindergarten, and grade 1 are already in person for four days. Mondays will continue to be a Remote Learning Day for all Pembroke Public Schools students.
There are no changes to the Cohort D Full Remote Model at this time.
This model will stay intact through the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year.
All of the school committee meetings are recorded and posted under the minutes section of our website linked here.
The approved calendar is posted under the Calendars section of our website linked here.
The entire district will continue to operate with the Remote Monday schedule.
The calendar will be re-evaluated as we continue our Return to Learn planning throughout the spring.
Currently, we plan to continue with Remote Monday through April vacation.
If health data support it we will transition to a traditional 5-day model after the vacation. An updated calendar will be sent out to reflect any changes.
Elementary Level
The process for the elementary level remains the same. If an elementary classroom has a person who is a confirmed positive who was in the classroom during their infectious period, the entire classroom would be deemed a close contact.
In that case, the entire class would move to a remote format and virtual instruction, similar to what a virtual learning day schedule was under the hybrid model.
If an elementary student must quarantine due to an outside exposure and/or travel and was not in school while infectious that student would quarantine at home and receive asynchronous work with opportunities to check in with a teacher.
Secondary Level
At the secondary level seating charts are used to identify and notify close contacts.
Students who are under quarantine would continue to receive asynchronous instruction through Google Classroom with a support schedule and check-ins. They will also have access to classroom teachers during office hours and/or titan time.
At this time we still recommend that students transport any classroom materials back and forth on a daily basis. This applies to elementary students also.
While some teachers may allow for students to keep pencils and or other supplies in their classrooms, any instructional materials should be transported back and forth daily by the student.
This process is necessary in case a student and or/class has to quarantine for any reason they would still have their instructional materials with them.
ALL BREAKFAST, LUNCH, AND PICK-UP MEALS ARE FREE UNTIL END OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR!
*purchasing extra or a la carte items while at school will still require payment.
Elementary
Students will eat their lunch at a student desk versus a traditional table. Lunch either takes place in the classroom or a designated space within the school. As the weather gets nicer the tents will also return to each building.
Secondary
The tables at PCMS will be replaced with student desks for the increase in students. PHS will continue to use student desks in the cafeteria and will be identifying additional areas for lunchroom space. As the weather gets nicer, the tens will also return to each building.
Anytime a student is unmasked to eat they are six feet apart.
Six feet is measured from the center student chair to the center of student chair.
Transportation:
Our current local and student health data is trending in a positive direction. If local and student health data changes (i.e., a dramatic increase in the number of positive student cases following February break), the School Committee will be reevaluating whether or not to move forward with the plan.

All students, educators, and staff are required to wear a mask/face covering over their nose and mouth, except for during designated breaks, which should occur throughout the day. Neck gaiters and bandanas are not approved face coverings.
Breaks should occur when students can be six feet apart and ideally outside or at least with the windows open.
Masks/face coverings must be worn by everyone during school bus transportation. Teachers and parents should reinforce mask-wearing.
Masks/face coverings should be provided by the student/family, but schools should make available face masks for students who need them.
Exceptions to mask/face covering requirements must be made for those for whom it is not possible due to medical conditions, disability impact, or other health or safety factors. Face shields may be an option for students with medical or behavioral challenges who are unable to wear masks/face coverings.
When students take a mask break they are 6 feet apart. The measurement between a desk is measured 6 feet from seat to seat. Students also take mask breaks outside with a 6-foot distance between them.
All students Prek-12 have 2 ten minute designated mask breaks per day.
Each of our schools will be offering school-specific Q&A opportunities for families the week of 3/8.
